Expensive houses of well known televangelists

[Ziploc Surprise]

Here are some lovely photos of the ultra luxurious homes of some well known televangelists. http://preesi.lefora.com/2010/10/25/the-...angelists/

I swear If I had no conscience or common decency, no feelings for the sufferings of other people, I'd go into to the religion business.

Sickening. Tax evasion, profiting off the gullible and riling up tensions between races.

In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

Why are the religious so obsessed with mansions?

Hey, doesn't that Terry something or other douche who railed against homosexuality while fucking male prostitutes live in a house paid for by his newest congregation? I wouldn't say it is insanely expensive, but that cocksucker (hehe) lives better than most Americans and he's a complete and utter bullshit artist.

That cock was put in his mouth by Satan.

But yes, it's amazing that people will still follow these people even after it's been demonstrated that they're frauds.

Evangelists and missonaries...I know of imams that sleep on the rugs of the mosque for the night, while people like that asshole receive private donations and etc. and live in luxury houses like that.

That would be Ted Haggard.

New information: An investigation. Every decade or so there's an investigation of the more popular televangelists. This time around was more pathetic than normal. Here are the articles. Huffington post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/08...06202.html CNN: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/07...ed/?hpt=T2

Here's the conclusion to a 3 year investigation: "The staff review sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion among churches and religious organizations," Grassley said in a prepared statement. "I look forward to helping facilitate this dialogue and fostering an environment for self-reform within the community."

"The number and types of entities, including private airports and aircraft leasing companies, raises concerns about the use of the church's tax-exempt status to avoid taxation. However, given the four churches' refusal to provide tax information, we are unable to determine whether and the extent to which they are reporting and paying taxes on income earned in those entities," the review states.

Here's another quote: Long responded in a statement Thursday night, "I am relieved that after more than three years of intense investigation and countless untrue allegations, that Senator Chuck Grassley's review has found no evidence of wrongdoing. Our ministry at New Birth has always and will continue to operate with accountability and integrity. I am thankful to God that the public now knows the truth."

If I were paranoid (and I am) I would venture to say that the lovely senator was paid to "not find anything".

I also wonder how much money was spent to make the senator's investigation threatening enough to require pay offs.

Just a little paranoia. I don't trust these guys as far as I can throw them.

Self-reform within the community? Are there really people out there that are this naive?

That's what I thought. If the one's who preach morality can't be moral themselves, and if Jesus himself is too busy to come down and over turn a few tables then how do these people think the televangelists will suddenly decide to regulate themselves. Has it ever happened in the past? No.

I swear the "investigation was just a way to skim from the government and bully televangelists for bribes.
